We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

This lift has been a problem for a long time, at least I have seen it dead several times. According to liftblog, it was installed in 1999, replacing the original triple installed in 1975. WG really needs to replace that lift, and I hate to say it but with another HS 6. Crowded slopes but with that upside down design you have to ride the lift to get back to the facilities and your car. Come on WG - replace it !!!

Really glad the acorn lift was running this weekend but man was the line long and slow. I can't tell from responses whether the new motor was too small to load every chair vs. every other chair or they wanted to take it easy on the new motor. Or, is it always about the same line length and wait time?
